With its five rooms and bath it was designed for a family having a budgeted income of from five to six thousand dollars a year and a natural leaning toward gardening. Upon entering the house graciousness of living and hospitality are characterized by the circular stairway and an open vista into the livinq room displaying the mantel treatments.
InThe plan is a graceful one without dark corners to clean and unnecessary halls to keep in order. It is well lighted by the disposition of its windows, and the conveniences are carefully located.
A feature of this house is the conservatory, where plants can be started at any time during the year. The conservatory can be viewed from the living room and dining room. The bathroom on the second floor has the tub with adjoining shower placed against the exterior wall, which is partially of glass brick and somewhat enclosed by a sheet of heavy plate glass.
